Nevis, which trailed 40-35 at the half, fell to 10-3 in conference play as Cass Lake improved to 10-3 to share first place in the standings. The Tigers fell to 20-4 overall while Cass Lake improved to 18-6.
“Cass Lake was able to do to us at home what we did in our home contest. They got off to a great start and held on,” said Nevis head coach Scott Kramer, whose team must defeat Red Lake on the road in the regular-season finale on Friday (Feb. 28) to earn a share of the conference title. “I thought we played pretty well, but Cass Lake made a run in each half and even though we made our own run in the first half, we were not able to match their second-half run. We did some good things, but not consistently enough to beat a good team at their place.”
